Marcus Wright- Terminator: Salvation: Final Battle

[anewhero]

A "normal" looking cyborg named Marcus Wright is walking through the Southern district with his leather coat on. If anybody normal saw him, he'd look like a normal human. If anybody could see inside him, he was a terminator, just a bit different.

Pinocchio || uh... Disney's Pinocchio

[madeofpine]

Pinocchio is beginning to think he might be very good at getting lost. That or he's just very bad at ending up where he's supposed to be. Or maybe both.

Either way, he is definitely very lost right now. He was supposed to be going home- and he had really wanted to go home, honest! But then he'd run into Mr. Honest John (what luck!) which turned out to be a really good thing because otherwise he might never have known that he was allergic. And he'd gotten a free ticket to Pleasure Island and everything!

But they had been heading towards a coach to get there, right? He certainly didn't see any coaches anywhere. He didn't even see any other people anywhere, just a lot of trees and this didn't look like the roads in the village at all.

He... might be starting to get just a little nervous. Pinocchio kind of just scans the trees for any sign of anybody, and then gives a quick check along the ground and other nearby plants in case Jiminy was around (but he's probably home by now, he was a lot faster than Pinocchio thought). But nope, nothing.

Unsure of what else to do, the kid just kind of starts ambling nervously along in any given direction, calling out at random intervals. "Mr. Honest John?"

Re: Pinocchio || uh... Disney's Pinocchio

[younghero]

Link was gathering grubs with the intention of going fishing, when he heard a boy's voice calling out. He stowed the jar full of bait on his belt and walked towards the direction he heard the other boy.

Since Hyrule was incredibly diverse, the Hylian didn't think much about the other's appearance.

"Hi! Are you okay?"

SCREAMING

[givealittlewhistle]

Jiminy, for his part, probably enjoyed his evening walks about the southern district a little too much. Okay, so maybe he'd let Geppetto's workshop get a little dusty, but it wasn't intentional! The cricket just happened to enjoy his fresh air, was all. Besides, clutter left a place feeling a little more lived in.

So there he hopped along, whistling merrily, when...

"Mr. Honest John?"

Jiminy froze, mid hop. He had to billow out his umbrella as he sailed down, almost utterly paralyzed otherwise.

No.

No, it couldn't be... It was a trick of his hearing, wasn't it? He couldn't possibly be hearing...!

But even despite his practicality, Jiminy was running. Hopping. Full tilt, heels blazing.

"Pinnochio?!" he ended up shouting back. He hurried, his breath gusting out of him. "Pinoke!! Is that you?!"

Re: Pinocchio || uh... Disney's Pinocchio

[agathaheterodyne]

Okay. Small wooden child. Hardly the oddest construct Agatha had ever seen. She set her death ray down so she could kneel in front of him. "You okay?" she asked, softly.

From one of the large and very full pockets in her pants, a small head popped out to look at the kid.Some sort of sharp toothed orange weasel with bolts in its neck.

Amren | A Court of Thorns and Roses series

[petite_ancient_one]

What appears to be a petite, High Fae woman can be found roaming around the South District, not looking pleased at all. If one were to approach her, they will notice that her eyes were not a normal grey, but rather the grey swirls around like smoke under glass. They can be seen as both beautiful and disturbing at the same time.

The reason for her displeasure is the fact that when she woke in this realm, she knew right away that her powers were gone. She couldn't even cast the simplest of spells much her more powerful mind attacks and seal breaks. Only something as powerful as the Cauldron could do something like this, and that is not sitting too well with her.

Re: Amren | A Court of Thorns and Roses series

[kaylinneya]

Kaylin had been patrolling when she stopped short. Short as the hair on the woman before her. She tried not to look shocked, but Kaylin's face was as ever an open book. Short hair. She'd never once seen a Barrani with short hair before. And then she saw the grey eyes.... Grey. What the actual *****s did grey mean?!

Kaylin stood there a moment, wondering just how dead she was about to be.

Of course, Kaylin herself stood out. Just not always in the best of ways. It was more that she didn't look like she belonged to herself. For example, her clothing looked as though she'd slept in it. For a month. Streight. All wrinkled and dirty. But the clothing itself was a long sleeved linen shirt of decent quality, leather chest armor under a chainmail shirt, under a tabard of grey and pale blue with two golden hawks - one of stitching, one of beads.

The pants were leather as in armor, no as in fashion, and ripped under one knee and stained with old dry blood. Her boots were heavy and serviceable. She wore a wide belt with extra notches punched in it, and a curved dagger on either hip. And that was the end of the parts of her that went together at all. Because around one wrist she wore a very expensive heavy antique gold bracelet inset with three gems. Small countries could have gone broke trying to afford it. Her face was plain enough, human. Her expressions were a little too open and honest. But on her cheek, like a delicate and artfully done tattoo, was a flower. Deadly Nightshade.

Which looked odd against her uneven rough cut hair that was doing its level best to pull free of the gnawed up stick she had through the knot of it at the base of her neck.

Have a Hylian

[younghero]

Link spotted the woman while riding Epona. Seeing the shape of ears, he immediately brightened, hoping he'd found someone else from Hyrule. He had Epona slow down and walk beside her.

"Hello, Miss! Are you lost?"

Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[spoilsfun]

There is a very small child wandering through the districts. Alone.

Somebody should probably go talk to him before he finds trouble.

And now I am super Ebil. Hi! Have Kaylin who will very much treat him like a child!

[kaylinneya]

Kaylin was walking her beat as she came across him. She was her usual odd looking self - her dark hair unevenly cut and in a messy bun at the back of her neck, staked through with a gnawed on stick. The teeth marks on it very much were NOT human. She had what looked like a delicate tattoo of deadly nightshade on one cheek. She wore a white linen shirt with buttons at the wrists, leather pants, a leather chest piece, a chain mail short over that, a two-tone tabard with flying hawks on it over that, and a belt over the whole mess, from which hung a dagger over either hip. All of her clothing looked wrinkled and slept in. She was possibly the only person in any world that could make chainmail look untidy. The tabard was grey and sky blue, and one of the hawks on it was embroidered in golden thread. the other was a patch of fine detailed bead work, applied to one shoulder, just over the tip of the other hawk's wing. Her leather pants were slashed under one knee and slightly blood stained, as were her heavy boots. The belt was clearly made for someone larger than her as the last several notches were poked out with a dagger.

On one wrist she wore a heavy antique gold bracelet, that all of Japan pooling their money probably could not pay for. It was inset with three gems and looked quite heavy. She wore it like she was well used to it. The chain for a necklace trailed under her shirts, thick and gold, and she was wearing an expensive platinum and emerald ring on one finger. And she looked ticked. Until she saw the kid.

HEr enteri expression and bearing changed. Gone was all the tension and anger and pain. Her smile became soft and open and genuine. She approached him and all the stiffness was gone from her gait. Her hands dropped from her dagger hilts as she knelt before him.

"Hello," she said gently. All the guarded wariness was gone from her eyes. Kaylin had ALWAYS had a weakness for children. Severn said she had a soft spot for them even when she was one herself.

"Are you new here?" she asked, gently, kindly. It was a side of her that only came out when there was a child around.

Re: Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[daydreamshimmer]

Wow, you are a tiny child.

Have an amber yellow girl with some weird hair.

"Hey there. Don't think I've seen you around before." Should a kid THIS young be walking around alone????

Re: Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[agathaheterodyne]

Have a woman who just climbed out of a fight with the rather large spiders... and came out the winner. A small canon, or large death ray if you prefer, made of equal parts metal and spider was over one shoulder. Her pants and blouse were covered in ichor and there was grease on her glasses.

She blinked when she saw him, then jogged over. "You wouldn't happen to know how I get back to Paris from here, would you?"

Re: Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[death_from_above]

STREEEEEEEEECH. Ah, that was a good nap. Now he just had to find Adrien and... Okay. Small kid. Alone. Which would probably mean small kid getting taken over by Endos or Papillion, which would mean Adrien would have to go save the day, which would mean - and here was the true horror - he would forget to feed Spark! Again! Nope. Unacceptable. Clearly Spark would have to help this kid. His fish depended upon it. He trotted over and sat in front of the child. "Follow me, then," he said, then stood and started to lead.

Yes, Conan. A small orange cat just told you to follow him. Have fun with that.

And now for a wizard, because I am horrid.

[guru_clef]

Clef had been taking a walk when he spotted the new arrival. Looking ten himself, this kid wasn't exactly very small to his standards. And given that he was irritated by everyone here treating him like a child at first, he was determined not to do that to anyone else. So he walked over in his usual measured way, staff thumping rhythmically with every other step.

"Welcome. I presume you are new to Naut?"

Re: Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[memories_of_me]

Me had been taking a rare walk when she saw him. She stopped short. No. Kids were trouble. Kids were always trouble. No way. Not a chance was she getting involved with another kid here. Link was bad enough. She was getting worse than the Doctor. She scowled as she walked over. "I'm taking you as far as to someone who will help you, and no further, kid. I am not your friend, I am not your parent, I am not nice. I have no intention of being any of those things. Are we understood?"

Connie. Link. That idiot cat boy. This place had a thing for minors and it was getting on her nerves.

One more then I'll try to exercise self control...

[blond_and_brilliant]

Nokoru was wandering this odd new place, trying to get a feel for it when he spotted another kid. Elementary devision, from the look of it. Not in uniform, but then, neither was Nokoru. Even Clamp School didn't count long trench coats and sherlock hats as uniforms. Yet. Maybe he should bring that up at the next student council meeting. It would be fun for winter!

"Hello there," he called out. "This doesn't seem to be the fine arts division, do you know where I happened to wind up?" he asked. Everyone at school knew him, and while he didn't know places, or the male students, half as well as he knew the female ones... somehow he suspected he wasn't in Clamp School any more. And that was bad, if it meant he was kidnapped again. But on the bright side, no one else was in danger with him!

Re: Conan Edogawa | Detective Conan

[modelcatizen]

Small child.

EXTREMELY small child.

Like worryingly small. He's usually pretty okay with kids wandering, since Nautilus doesn't have creepy kidnappers as a general rule, but that is a VERY SMALL CHILD.

Either way, he's hurrying ahead and....just a bit farther...yes, okay.

HOPPING DOWN FROM A ROOF.

To land roughly ten feet in front of the kid so it looks properly cool and not terrifying close. Keeping crouched down as he grins at the kid. "Well, you're a mew furrace. Nice to meowke your acquicatance, kitten."

Devon Russe | The 4X4 | OC

[the4x4]

He didn't recall falling asleep by a gate, but if that is what happened next. He might have to take it. He shifts to look around him and then stands up, dusting himself off.

"Well, that's pretty weird..." he addresses and turns to look around him to try and ground himself.

"I am - totally unaware of where I am." he looks around him, spinning to try and find some kind of item to remind him. Meanwhile walking backwards. A six-foot-five man with thick arms and an even thicker body.

Re: Devon Russe | The 4X4 | OC

[memories_of_me]

"Which might be an absolutely shocking statement if it wasn't uttered by pretty much everyone who arrived here ever. Or variants there of similar enough to be the same. You're in another world, congratulations. I am sick of playing welcoming committee, so if you go down that way, you'll find people. In theory, most of them care. Bug one of them if you want to know more about this place."

Pidge Gunderson aka Katie Holt | Voltron: Legendary Defender

[greenlioness]

((OOC: Testing out her and someone else. I might go crazy and app both of them over the next few months, but still debating. And to add some spice, Pidge is from midway through "Return of the Gladiator" when it's found out that Shiro attacked Matt but not that it was to protect him. So, yup, she still thinks she has the boys fooled and is still in "willing to take dumb risks to find family" mode.))

Upon entering the crashed Galra ship, Pidge raised a hand to her face to shield her eyes from the sudden sunlight. Strange, her helmet wasn't doing anything for the sudden brightness.

"Wait. That's not right. I was going..." She turned to see a set of massive closed doors behind her, doors that belonged on no Galra ship. "...inside."

She looked down at herself, noticing she was no longer in her Green Paladin armor. Turning back to what should've been the interior of the ship, she saw what looked like a quiet little city with a familiar architectural style.

"I'm back on Earth? How?!"

I think I might be FAR too excitable for this, hello! Also assuming this is the North?

[enchantressofore]

It was a rare time when Adela went to the Northern District outside of bending school, but honestly? It had been too long since she'd been, and there was enough interesting about it that simply taking a walk through the city's streets can be a relaxing time.

So someone Pidge will see is a rather short red-head who probably looks like she walked straight out of a fantasy novel, with the tunic, trousers, cloak, boots, and sword all on her person. She seemed to have spotted Pidge as well, and it didn't take her very long at all to approach.

When she was a few feet away she stopped, finally asking, "Excuse me... I mean not to pry, but have you just arrived here?"

Honestly she had a feeling the confusion practically pouring off of the boy(?) in his body language and and shouting meant he was freshly woken, but it didn't hurt to check.

Wataru Takagi | Detective Conan

[didntfall]

((OOC: Testing out him and someone else. I might go crazy and app both of them over the next few months but still debating. Going for the hard reset with this one. He didn't do much last time around but potential castmates are enabling the crap out of me.))

Takagi wasn't a coward (going back to a job that had killed him multiple times in only his first year more than proved that), but suddenly finding himself wandering in a strange city definitely was definitely enough to make him nervous. As far-fetched as it would've sounded to anybody else, he wondered if he'd been kidnapped and had escaped but blacked it all out somehow.

"At this rate, Megure-keibu's going to give me nothing but desk duty..."

Because I am tempted to bring this dude back

[ombreux]

"Hmph. If I know anything about inspectors, it is that their brains are full of idle fluff and only the most straightforward answers make sense," a voice behind Takagi intoned. Simon was slightly pleased with himself to remember his Japanese suffixes even after the years behind bars.

"Surely you're capable of fabricating a suitable answer for your superior if and when he shows up here. Not that there's pertinent desk work to be done here."

Professor Robert Langdon | Dan Brown Series of Books

[lifemusthaveitsmysteries]

[Testing out this guy here]

A normal human man wearing a professional suit eyed his location. He was shocked that he was in a new location and not anywhere near his students.

He almost thought he was kidnapped again.

He wasn't at the local museum or Harvard anymore, that he could tell.

"Dove sono? Si tratta di Harvard."

[wisdominshadows]

The young woman who turned to answer him was maybe slightly younger than his students, fair-haired and pretty and with unusually long, pointed ears. For a moment she regarded the man with polite confusion, then murmured, "Another language? I've never seen this happen before...."

Zelda shook her head at her own rudeness, but she wasn't entirely sure how to proceed without a common language. "My apologies, sir, I am unsure what you just said. Are you a new arrival in Nautilus?" The last word was emphasized with a flick of her hand, an attempt to at least get across this man's location.

Ianto Jones | Torchwood |OTA

[buttleslikearockstar]

Ianto Jones has gotten used to expecting the unexpected, what with working for Torchwood and all. He well and truly had not expected to live as long as he had. After Lisa was converted he had a purpose, get a job in Cardiff, move Lisa to Cardiff, take care of Lisa, heal Lisa. It hadn't quite worked out the way he hoped, but when do things in his life really work out? He lost his focus when Lisa was destroyed but somehow found it again in Jack. It was true what he told Rhi, the only man he was interested in was Jack. He had bolloxed that up too hadn't he?

Leave it to Jack to blame himself and not take Ianto's free will in going into Thames House into account. He just wished that he had more time

Ianto took a deep breath in, sitting up straight. He looked around blearily, everything out of focus, his memory a bit fuzzy for a moment, before he remembered. He died or at least he thought he had.

A short while later, a Welsh man is seen wandering around, looking a bit worse for wear. His shirt and waistcoat are torn and dirty. "I could really use a cup of coffee," He muttered to no one in particular.

Re: Ianto Jones | Torchwood |OTA

[captainspain]

Jack had woken up in the Box feeling rattled. He wasn't sure why as he couldn't remember having a nightmare. There was just something wrong with him today. Almost like his memories were too much and he couldn't handle them. Curse of living for centuries he supposed. One day his brain was going to get too small for all his memories and then what....his brain explodes. He really needed to see about getting a journal.

He left the Box and wandered the streets lost in his own thoughts. So much so that he missed Ianto and walked right passed him. Then it was like his brain was jogging his memory hard. "Lots of things you can do with a stopwatch",

Jack shook his head trying to clear it and as he did he turned around and spotted. "Ianto," he whispered his voice breaking, "No...no it can't be...it can't."

Master Splinter | TMNT 2k Series

[kameguardian]

There was a moment where he vaguely remembered a dream. Half meditation and half actual rest. His eyes opened and he sat at a gate, legs crossed in mediation and he looked around him for his staff but found nothing.

He rose carefully, tail flicking behind him, and smelled the air. It was not his home. It was not a dream. Where was he?

Re: Master Splinter | TMNT 2k Series

[im_with_stupid]

Alright. She'd gotten used to giant walking lizards, even liked some of the Silurians, but a giant talking rat was a new one by her. "Alright there?" she asked, approaching. She'd just arrived herself, but that was fine. Step one was to act like you knew what was going on, after all. And for all she knew this was his world and she was about to have to run because her red hair and pink skin made her stand out in this place.

Clementine | Telltale's The Walking Dead

[bravelittlehero]

It was like she'd taken a very wrong turn somewhere. The area she was standing in was no longer familiar and that made her nervous. Clementine did not like being nervous. She walked slowly, to keep her footsteps light, eyes darting from side to side.

For a young woman of thirteen it was probably surprising to see that her white shirt, and hat were stained with fading blood and she had her hands near her waist, never far from a weapon.

She did not like anyone sneaking up on her and at the first sign of a noise, her hand moved to her hip and drew a handgun from the shirt tied around her waist.

"Don't move and put your hands up." Her voice was steady and confident. It didn't matter who she met, she wanted to be in control.

[petite_ancient_one]

Though the girl's footsteps were silent to most, Amren's high fae ears could hear them loud and clear. Needless to say, she found the Clementine well before the girl saw her. Seeing the human in the filthy clothes, pegged her interest. In a sense she reminded her of Feyre. Another human, like so many below the Wall, who had to grow up very quickly.

Quietly she followed the human girl for a while to just to see what she would do. Eventually she got bored with just following and purposefully stepped on a branch in order to make a noise.

She arched a brow at the device the girl pointed at her, the grey in her eyes swirling a bit more than usual. "And why should I do that, girl?"

Coran | Voltron: Legendary Defender (Season 2 spoilers)

[paladincoach]

Video

All right, I think I've got this thing working. Hello, people of Nautilus!

[ The feed is showing an older gentleman wearing a broad smile, seemingly holding the camera in his hand as it's aimed up at him and that glorious moustache of his. ]

I am Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe -- I understand if that's a mouthful, so just Coran will be enough. I don't know a lot about this "wakened" business, but if there's a place where I can gather information about such things, being told where would be appreciated! As a reward, I wouldn't mind treating the people who helped me to a Paladin Lunch! ... Once I learn how to bend food, anyway. Shouldn't be that difficult. Anyway, it's a healthy meal with everything you need!

And maybe some Nunvil as well. I'd love to share a drink with my peers before heading back home!

Action

It was jarring, to be at the end of the fight with the lions towing the Black Lion back to the ship. To race to the cockpit of the Black Lion, only to find it without its pilot, with the black bayard still stuck in its spot. It had been a hard battle for all of them, and even with what they had gained, their loss was great too.

But it felt like watching a dramatic play of sorts. It left him aching to want to know what happened next, but the fact that it felt like he wasn't in his own body but a bystander watching events through his own eyes was jarring enough...

And then, he woke up.

Coran's eyes opened to the fog in Nautilus's North District, the buildings so strange to him that he might as well have been on another planet. At first he was silent, only getting to his feet to look around and to try and evaluate what had just happened. It was disorienting to suddenly be not where he was, and in spite of his confidence in his own hand-to-hand combat he knew he was vulnerable without so much as a weapon to defend himself should it be needed. Who knew if he was somehow on a Galra colony!

He continued to remain quiet as he walked, trying to keep eye and ear out for anyone or anything familiar, but when he heard someone approaching from behind he immediately whirled around, hands at the ready to try and swat at whoever or whatever it was, "HIYA-A-AH!"

Unfortunately, his footing slipped and he wound up flailing to try and keep his balance. He managed after a moment, letting out a mutter of 'quiznak' before he straightened and got into a fighting stance again against whatever had dared to sneak up on him then and there. Granted, he couldn't quite see who it was through the fog, at least not initially, but who knew if the same could hold true for them?

"All right, I'm warning you! Drop your weapons if you want me to take it easy on you!" He shouted, hoping that his bluff, poor as it was, would work. He hadn't exactly had good track record with bluffing, but right now it was his best shot!

[[ OoC: Noting here that Coran is going to be taken from the tail end of season 2! I will try to avoid any mention to season 3 spoilers if possible, but if you want to avoid season 2 spoilers then please let me know and I will do my best to work with that preference. ]]

Re: Coran | Voltron: Legendary Defender (Season 2 spoilers)

[younghero]

Link cleared his throat.

"Are you okay, Mister?"

Yeah, he wasn't dropping his weapons, but, they weren't drawn either.
